CHAPTER ONE

His eyes told everything about him, how he hated the world, his life, and life in general. His eyes had no life in them only death and the sad thing was that those around him have not seen the change in his eyes. I do but what can I do he hates me and hate him or so everyone thinks. I think that I love him but what can I do about it he can't stand me and it's not his fault all I do is call him 'mutt'. I watched as his honey brown eyes so full of life slowly died and I have my own thought of why. I watch him as he makes sure that his sleeves don't expose his bruises because he does want other to know about his battle wounds. I say nothing but want to do so much for him and he has no idea how I feel but I hope that one day our paths cross and I'll be able to heal his open wounds with my love but until that day I'll watch him from afar.

Joey (who was an hour early) can into class and went to his desk and he placed his head on his arms and tried to calm himself down. His whole body hurt from his father's assault on his already battered body and last night he did the same. Joey hated his life but as a child he was told that he was at fault and this how he had to live. Every day he went to school and played the happy-go-lucky boy who really had a hard time understanding anything that wasn't duel monsters and every night he was beaten until his father got tired of beating him. Joey also was thin and his friends sis think that he had an eating problem and they were right he wasn't given much food as a child so he was always hungry but knew not to complain about it.

He didn't know that he wasn't alone in the class room. Seto Kabia the CEO of Kabia Corp. was also in the class room and he watched Joey enter the room and place his head on his arms and rest. Seto had enough and he went to the door and locked it. Joey looked up and saw his rival standing over him.

"What do you want Kabia?"

"What's wrong?" Seto asked and his voice was not icy like it was mostly there was concern in his voice.

"Nothing I'm just tired now you better unlock that door before Mr. Haiku gets here."

"You're lying so were going to skip class today and you're going to tell me why your eyes have died these past years. I know that your friends don't know because too can them for fools but not me."

"Kabia you are out your mind if you think that I'm going any where with you now leave me alone."

"Wheeler you're coming with me." With that said he grabbed Joey's arm and Joey cried out in pain. Seto held the arm with his right hand while the left pulled up Joey's sleeve. He saw multiple bruises and they ranged from old ones to some that came from last night, "What happen and don't say I fell down I have heard that one form you too many times. No one is that clumsy."

"I was jumped now leave me alone."

"No, I know you were not jumped and I have an idea where those bruises came from and not from gang fights but from a boy trying to protect himself from his own father. Am I right Wheeler or are you going to lie again to cover his tracts."

"Look Kabia I don't pry into your business so why do you have to pry into mine. So my dad might get a little mad at me and hits me, but you're wrong to think that he does just because he wants to he does it because I need it. I need it because I'm bad and everything is my fault." Joey lost it he fell into Kabia's arms and he to his shock Kabia held him.

"Shhh. It not your fault and your not bad. Joey I think that we need to talk is that okay with you." Joey just nodded. Kabia then cradled Joey like a child and carried him outside to his car and he drove him back to the manor to attend to Joey wounds physical and mental.
